Once, a very long time ago, a man named Amak awoke in the morning and was very hungry—he wanted some dinner. Before the sun rose
over the mountains, he left his family and promised to bring food home to them. Amak, whose stomach growled, knew his family was famished—and so was he. As he trudged along, Amak realized he had been walking for a long time. He wanted to find food quickly and take it home to his family. 2Amak walked through the forest to find food. He looked into the trees to find birds and scoured bushes hoping to find a rabbit. He became frustrated when he found nothing. Amak knew he had to keep searching, though, because his family was counting on him.
How does the setting of the story make it more effective?
These kinds of phrases help us know what is going on in the story. For example, if the story said, "Amak walked for a while to find some food", we don't know where he is, or why he would be looking for food while he was walking. For all we know he could me walking around his house.
Setting is really impotent because it gives the readers visuals. A good writer will help the reader see the area around the character and help them visualize what is happening.
